Since I’m a naturally curious person, I checked out the Domestic branded machines online. It seems like they made really good machines from about 1866 and that Singer an Howe did a lot of copying the Domestic stlyling and that the Domestic machines were actually better and sold the the two mentioned above. Unfortunately, I goofed and lost the article but I want to go find it again to share on my small quilt guild’s newsletter. II did just put in the search area “domestic branded sewing machines”. When I find it again I’ll post the link.
Thanks,
